Staff of the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) and officers of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) last Saturday embarked on a nine-kilometre health walk in Accra, to keep them healthy.

The walk, held on the themeselves, "Building Bonds of Friendship Through Health Walk", started at 6.00a.m. after a brief but intense aerobic session at the El-Wak Stadium.

It saw the participants walking  from the El-Wak stadium to the 37 Military Hospital through the Kawukudi Park, the Nima Police Station, the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, the Ako-Adjei Interchange, the Flagstaff House, Christ the King Church, the Cantonments Post Office and back to where it started.

In his address the Managing Director of ADB, Mr Daniel Asiedu, said such events were very important, explaining that the "worth of a nation is the wealth of its people."

"You will agree with me that as bankers, we work so hard and have little or no time to exercise the body.”
